Go after the spamvertised sites is one thing you can do. How productive *that* is... probably not very, unless you're really determined and/or backed up by army of lawyers and money. But if the sites aren't hosted by any high-profile spammer that does everything while the connectivity provider looks the other way, you could always try complaining to whoever hosts the site. Anyways, look in the archives. Wasn't this discussed recently on the list in the 'Ideas on dealing with Joe Job?' thread? Not really a joejob, but just using your domain in the sender headers. http://www.spamfaq.net/terminology.shtml: 3.2.22 What's a "Joe Job"? The act of faking a spam so that it appears to be from an innocent third party, in order to damage their reputation and possibly to trick their provider into revoking their Internet access. Named after Joes.com, which was victimized in this way by a spammer some years ago.
